My atty is not responsive, and the court date is coming up soon. Can I represent myself if he does not show up?

Dear litigant, You should consult with your attorney immediately to determine whether he/she intends on preparing and attending trial.  If you are uncomfortable with the response, you have a right to discharge your attorney and have him/her file a substitution of attorney with the court. After the substitution of attorney is filed, you are free to represent yourself or you may represent yourself. Mitch Abdallah
